Article Abstract
Objectives: To prospectively evaluate the relationship of established inflammatory markers and presepsin on nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia and to correlate presepsin levels to the occurrence and severity of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia.
Design: Patients were prospectively enrolled and blood samples taken, followed by a retrospective evaluation of laboratory values and angiographic findings. The study was ethics committee approved.
Settings: Patients with clinical suspicion of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia underwent catheter angiography of the superior mesenteric artery. Images were assessed by two experienced radiologists on consensus basis using a previously published standardized reporting system (Homburg-Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia-Score). Two groups were formed according to the severity of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia, mild and severe, patients without clinical signs of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia formed the reference group. These data were correlated to inflammatory blood markers assessed pre- and postoperatively: C-reactive protein, leucocytes, procalcitonin, and presepsin as well as outcome data.
Patients: Between January 2010 and March 2011, a total of 839 patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery participated in this study.
Measurements And Main Results: Mild nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia was diagnosed in 4.5%, and severe nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia in 3.2%. Median postoperative presepsin concentrations were significantly greater in mild and severe nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia than in non-nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia. Statistics showed that postoperative presepsin better discriminated mild and severe nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia than any other tested biomarker.
Conclusions: Elevated postoperative plasma presepsin concentrations are an independent predictor of mild and severe nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia. The established inflammatory blood markers significantly correlate with the development and severity of nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia.

Risk Factors for 30-day Mortality After Emergency Surgery for Non-occlusive Mesenteric Ischemia.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Background/aim: Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a rare and highly fatal disease characterized by intestinal ischemia or necrosis despite the absence of obstruction of the mesenteric vessels. This research aimed to investigate the risk factors for 30-day mortality of NOMI after emergency surgery.
Patients And Methods: We analyzed 42 consecutive patients who underwent emergency surgery for NOMI from April 2015 to August 2022.

BACKGROUND MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE: is a pathogen that causes community-acquired pneumonia in children, and it is often accompanied by various extrapulmonary complications. While intestinal necrosis is relatively rare among these extrapulmonary manifestations, they can be severe and life threatening. CASE PRESENTATION: We present an uncommon extrapulmonary complication of intestinal necrosis caused by nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) in a six-year-old child with M.

An 81-year-old man was brought to our institution because of general fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased consciousness. Based on the clinical findings, the patient was diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and started on insulin therapy. Two days after normalization of the ketone body level, he developed a high fever and abdominal pain.

Background: Both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and ischaemia could lead to abdominal organ injury. However, the importance of abdominal injury in cardiac arrest remains uncertain. We aimed to systematically review indexed literature to describe incidence of abdominal injury after non-traumatic cardiac arrest and associations with outcome.
